Breeze Flights from CMH to Roanoke

As the periwinkle hues of twilight enveloped the Columbus Metropolitan sky, I contemplated the journey ahead. My destination? Roanoke, Virginia, that quaint star city nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I, a traveler at heart, was brimming with anticipation for my first experience with Breeze Airways. After diligent research into choosing amongst several options, their reputation for comfort along with competitive flight deals had prompted my example, providing a contrast against the trends of pricier domestic flights.

One would traditionally expect a premium for such direct flights, but my airfare had pleasantly surprised me—affordable yet not compromising on quality. This, in combination with the scheduling of my flight—neither an inconvenient red-eye flight nor an overly-eager early bird—provided an indication of Breeze's consideration for their customers' comfort. This was a journey that hinted at the promise of an intimate encapsulation of Roanoke's comforting Southern charm, rather than a hectic hurdle between two airports.

The arrangement onto Breeze's planes was segregated into the common segments of Economy class, Premium Economy, and Business class. I had chosen the Premium Economy—one step above the standard economy class—for the additional legroom and other perks, without the full steep of the Business class airfare. The baggage allowance was generous—a welcome liberation compared to the restrictive capacities of many other airlines.

A frequent flyer might have racks of rewards under a mileage program, but travelling wasn't quite as habitual for me. Nevertheless, Breeze’s inviting tone began to make me reconsider. My travel was a one-way affair, a simple dash across the lands, but I found myself contemplating a round-trip. With Breeze’s flight cancellation policy allowing for rescheduling with little penalty, I was assured of flexibility.

Onboard, I marveled at the in-flight services offered—free snacks, premium seating, and WiFi that actually worked. A popular pain point in many airline reviews was the lack of consistent internet connectivity, but Breeze seemed to have managed the balancing trick of normality ably. The flight duration was just over an hour and a half, but the journey felt effortless—partly due to the comfort and partly due to the anticipation of exploring Roanoke.

Endeavoring to carve a niche amongst cheap flights and last-minute flights markets, Breeze's offerings seemed more of a deliberate thought-through process than mere happenstance. Their comprehensive appreciation for customer care, right from the booking procedure to their connecting flights—should your journey require—highlighted their reputation as an upcoming reliable airline for both international flights and otherwise.

I had read somewhere that the best time to book flights is Tuesday afternoon, off-peak hours, off-peak times. Theory aside, my experience with Breeze felt more a testament to their consistent pricing rather than my strategic timing. From CMH in Columbus to Roanoke, or elsewise, Breeze is making domestic air travel a more accessible and friendly experience.

Finally, the twinkling lights of Roanoke sprawled out like a star-studded sky below me. As I prepared to embark on an adventure into its historic heart and natural treasures, I remember the flight with Breeze, a journey that felt more like the gentle winds on a summer day than a mechanical journey between two states. A preface to my adventure in Roanoke that was set as poetically as an impressionist painting.
